It Came From the 4th Dimension!

Yes, it came from the 4th Dimension! The 600 Cell Polytope.

No, it's not an alien creature. It's a complex 4-dimensional geometric object, equivalent to our own 3D icosahedron. When it pushes through from the 4th Dimension, this is one of the shadows that it can cast in our own 3D space.

This one was captured and filmed by Wizard Gynoid in Second Life, and was scripted by Desdemona Enfield. Soundtrack by Jana Kyomoon.

And yes, there was some additional scripting done by Glyph Graves.

I just have a question. If Shadows in our dimension appear flat , Would A shadow from the 4th dimension appear 3 dimensional ?

[wizzygynoid]

yes, but it was also have a 2 dimensional shadow as well.

I was thinking about something like that. Wouldn't a 4d set of eyes, though able to see INSIDE of 3d objects, still be able to only see for a limited range, like us?

We can only see so far to our sides without turning, as well as up and down without tilting, and we can only see so far ahead of us without high-powered lenses.

Lol, I'd like to see 4d binoculars.

The names are Greek and mean things like "20-sided pointy thing." They actually do make sense when taken in the larger context of possible three dimensional figures.

[RhobarX]

it would. that's a hypercube. I guess there are more directions in space than JUST length, width and hight, something that can see space frm outside and inside, from everywhere like a god. a direction, we can not see, show or imagine. even if someone would see the 4th dimension, he oder she coulded show us. how? 4d must have something to do with being everywhere and nowhere, being all and nothing at the same time.sonds spiritual but that it is.

Hey Variable!

Which names are you trying to figure out?

[AdamLore]

Great job. Thanks for posting this!

Truly Amazing what you've created in SL! The accompanying music fits brilliantly and enhances the presentation.

Time is the 4th dimension.
